Day 42 — Building a CSS Media Player

🎶 Day 42 — A Media Player with Just CSS
Today I went beyond theory and actually built something —
a simple media player UI styled with CSS.
It wasn’t just about writing properties; it was about bringing everything together into a working design.
✅ What I Did
🌐 Web Development – CSS Media Player
Designed a basic media player layout with:
Play, pause, and skip buttons
Progress bar styling
Volume controls
Used CSS to style buttons with hover/active states
Learned how flexbox and transitions can make UI feel smooth
The result: a clean, minimal player design 🎧

🧠 Reflections
Building something, no matter how small, feels different from just learning.
This wasn’t about perfect functionality — it was about creating a real piece of UI.
Seeing the player take shape was fun and motivating.
Day 42 = productive and satisfying ✅
